Despite messages we receive from conventional medicine, even Diabetic Living magazine (complete with enticing cover photos of cakes, cookies and other sweet treats), diabetes is a gravely serious diagnosis and should be treated as an emergency.  It’s a death sentence, but a sentence that you can reverse in the case of Type 2 diabetes, and manage in the case of Type 1 diabetes.  How?  By using information, education, and a steely resolve to not “live with” diabetes.  You’ll often hear diabetics refer to “my diabetes” as if they own it.  Let’s think and live differently!

Today on LivingFuelTV with KC Craichy, learn the important distinctions between pre-diabetes, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, and the newly-coined Type 3 diabetes.  Also, you’ll learn steps you can take today to help your body reverse diabetes or prevent you from becoming a diabetic statistic in the first place.

The five minutes you’ll spend with today’s episode may literally save your life or the life of someone you love.  Please consider forwarding this episode to a friend or loved one today.  Click on the graphic below to watch.

A recent story on CBS’ television newsmagazine 60 Minutes highlighted the wide-ranging negative health effects of sugar consumption. Unfortunately, conventional artificial sweeteners can be equally detrimental. One of the giant steps you can make toward Super Health is curbing sugar intake.

For those instances where we do want to sweeten our foods, Living Fuel developed Therasweet®, an all-natural, plant-sourced, low-glycemic alternative to table sugar and artificial sweeteners. Use delicious Therasweet in your morning coffee, afternoon tea, and your favorite recipes. Why is Therasweet a healthy alternative?

Xylitol is derived from natural, organic hardwood trees and has long-been used safely by diabetics and those carefully monitoring their blood sugar levels.
 

Tagatose is a naturally occurring low-glycemic sweetener that has a minimal effect on blood glucose and insulin levels.

 
Micro-encapsulated probiotics assist in digestion and a healthy immune system; the same beneficial healthy bacteria (prebiotics and probiotics) that you find in yogurt, kefir, and other fermented foods.
 

In the featured video below, join Living Fuel founders KC and Monica Craichy to learn what Therasweet is, why you should add it to your pantry, and how to best enjoy it. Click on the graphic below to watch.

Metabolic disorders are nearing epidemic proportions in the U.S. as more and more Americans are being diagnosed as diabetic or pre-diabetic. It is my belief that diabetes and Syndrome X are two of the greatest health risks facing the American people today, because these conditions lead to virtually every other “disease of aging.”

Simply put, diabetes is a defect in the body’s ability to convert glucose (sugar) into energy. Popular television cook Paula Deen’s recent announcement of her diabetes diagnosis generated ferocious debate, however, this widespread disease has likely affected you and your family on a very personal level. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calls diabetes a “serious and growing public health concern.” In our view, diabetes is the single greatest health issue facing the United States today.

According to the American Diabetes Association, 25.8 million Americans have diabetes, and 79 million more have pre-diabetes, a condition that sets the stage for a diagnosis. And the CDC predicts that the rate of diabetes will triple (yes, triple) by 2050. This scourge is a major cause of heart disease, the #1 killer in America. Perhaps most alarming is that diabetes (Type 2 diabetes) is, in truth, a disease of choice and completely reversible with diet and lifestyle changes.

KC and Monica Craichy take the issue head on in this special SuperHealth Podcast.

SuperHealth Challenge Tips!

Despite other potential benefits, many of today’s diets have us consuming far too many carbohydrates. Indeed, the body’s storage capacity for carbohydrates is quite limited. Excess carbohydrates are converted, via insulin, into glycogen, which is stored in the liver and muscles and easily converted to glucose as a source of energy. It is also converted to cholesterol (LDL) and into saturated fat (triglycerides), which is stored in the adipose (or “fatty”) tissue. Any meal or snack that is high in carbohydrates can cause blood glucose levels to rise too rapidly.

Chronically elevated insulin levels from excess carbohydrates promote fat and block the body’s ability to lose that fat. This vicious cycle leads to blood sugar and endocrine issues, including diabetes and metabolic syndrome, or Syndrome X, which leads to virtually every known disease over the long term. The good news is that many of the “degenerative diseases” and “incurable diseases,” such as type 2 diabetes, Syndrome X, and other endocrine/blood sugar disorders are often completely reversible through the principles taught in this book.
